Gabbard's Textbook of Psychotherapeutic Treatments

The advancement of LGBTQ+ rights; calls for racial and social restoration and
justice; the COVID-19 pandemic. All three have changed society and the practice
of psychotherapy in profound ways.

They are all also featured prominently
in this second edition of Gabbard's Textbook of Psychotherapeutic Treatments.
Updated for the first time since 2012, this volume reflects advances not only in
psychotherapy itself-the latest empirical data, as well as our increased
understanding of the interface between brain and mind-but also in the culture at
large.

In these pages, readers will find A new section on racial and
ethnic diversities in psychotherapy, including discussions on working with
patients of African American, Asian American, South Asian American, and Latin
American backgrounds A new section on gender and sexualities in psychotherapy
that examines the unique issues and opportunities that arise when treating gay,
lesbian, bisexual, trans, and gender diverse individuals A chapter on the
rapidly expanding role of cyberspace in psychotherapy, including the increased
use of telepsychiatry, driven in no small part by the pandemic

Additionally, this second edition features a new chapter on supervision
and consultation, which describes both the important role they play in a
therapist's training and development and common pitfalls to be aware
of.

Lastly, readers can expect to find the most up-to-date information on
a range of psychotherapeutic modalities that include psychodynamic
psychotherapy; cognitive behavioral therapy; dialectical therapy; supportive
psychotherapy; and family, couple, and group psychotherapy.

With chapter
summaries and key points that make it easy to reference the comprehensive
information, as well as extensive lists of recommended readings, this volume is
more than just the authoritative guide to the range of current psychotherapeutic
treatments-it is also a gateway to further exploration and learning.
